Independent Living Communities in Troy, NY

"I am staying at Peregrine Senior Living at Crossgate. The outside is always impeccable and very well kept, as is the inside. They have two different kinds of studio apartments and a one-bedroom apartment. The one-bedroom goes to couples. I have a studio, but it is very roomy. Everybody is friendly, caring, loving, and concerned. I have yet to meet any staff member that is not pleasant. The meals are excellent and more than sufficient. There are always activities going on. They have communion twice a week, mass on Sunday mornings that's televised, and bible studies. We have a gorgeous fireplace. We will gather around the fireplace and have hot chocolate and stories. There's bingo three times a week and outings. We have live entertainment at least once a week. It's called our happy hour. Nonalcoholic and alcoholic beverages are available, all at no charge, and part of the package. There's exercise twice a day. The rent is hefty, but you get a pretty good package. The only thing that I'm having issues with is that the rent goes up every year. We have a nurse on duty every day. A doctor comes in once a week. A podiatrist comes in once or twice a week. Our garbage usually gets taken out every day. A cleaning lady comes in once a week and vacuums stuff and whatever needs to be done. Once a week they come in and change your sheets. They'll take your laundry, and it'll come back all washed and folded up. So overall, I would say it couldn't get much better."

"My father moved into the Terrace at Beverwyck over the weekend. We chose it for its features, its amenities, and its value. Also, it's a non-profit community. It's lovely; it's like a 5-star hotel. It's beautiful, clean, bright and tastefully decorated. It's the right kind of environment for elderly people who can't or don't want to live alone anymore. Everybody that lives there look happy and healthy."

"We toured Beverwyck. What I liked best about it was how warm and friendly it was. Linda was very nice. She was so easy to talk to and very friendly. The place was so warm and cozy. We even talked to one of the cleaning people there who were just so friendly and upbeat. I loved the way they had the place decorated for fall and for me, probably they decorate it for all different seasons. What I liked least about it was that it was not all on one floor. It was two stories. So you didn't have to use an elevator, but you didn't have to go down very long halls or anything, and that was nice. We saw a couple of empty rooms that had been cleared out, repainted, and cleaned. They looked nice and clean, with lovely views. I love the gardens they have. They have beautiful gardens and places to sit in the sunshine and be able to watch birds and so forth, maybe wildlife."

"The Glen Eddy is an absolutely marvelous place. My first impression was, “Wow, this is really nice.” It looked very good and modern, and the people we saw were very active with games and lots of activities. It was just very nicely setup. They had an art room, a swimming pool with a hot tub, they have a hair dresser, a barber shop, and the restaurant is excellent. It just had a lot to offer, and the person who gave us the tour was very nice."

"My tour at Glen Eddy was good. But since my mother's not ambulatory, I didn't like the layout of the place. The staff who gave the tour was fine. My mother was not ambulatory and she was like focusing on aspects of the place that really wouldn't apply to my mother. Like she would show me the walking path, my mother is never going to go on the walking path I explained that to her, but it didn't seem to register. I saw the dining area, it looked clean but I didn't try their food. I also saw physical therapy, which I thought was good. I saw a pool and an art room, and I saw them cooking there. They have everything and I like the security that they had there. They let you opt out of the food plan if you want to opt out. You don't get a whole lot of money back, it's like $200 a month if you opt out, which isn't a whole lot, but at least they give you the option. The apartments and the facility itself were beautiful."

"I toured Glenmont Abbey Village. I would love to live there if I could afford $1,300 monthly for the room and board. They have lots of activities. They have a movie night, a game night, and an indoor swimming pool. They had dishwashers. It was very beautiful and up-to-date. The tour was great, and the lady was nice. You can have a community there. They have bingo. They have get-togethers for crafts, and they have men get-togethers, and it's very nice."

"We looked at Hamilton Parc, an independent living community, and we liked it. We looked at ones that would allow you to bring pets, and they would. It's a fairly new facility and getting ready to expand, so my wife and I could move into a new unit that hasn't even been lived in yet. The people we met who are residents there were very friendly and nice. It has all the facilities that you would want, like an indoor pool, libraries, game rooms, and a movie theater. They have a workout room, and physical therapy available there, too. We met one of the people running it. They also have a beauty salon. The people that we dealt with there were friendly and concerned about trying to meet your needs. The staff there was very good. During our tour, they had something going on that might have been a potluck or a bring-your-own kind of thing. The rooms we saw were open and airy. The dining room was a nice place. Everything was, because it's a new facility."

"I like Peregrine Senior Living at Delmar Place very much. Everybody was very friendly. I was concerned about my dog, but they were very nice talking about getting a dog walker for me and so on. They were very accommodating. They showed me an apartment that was adequate, but it was kind of out of my price range. The apartment that I could afford, I thought, was rather small. Nevertheless, everything was very clean and easily accessible. They had a lot of game rooms, libraries, and reading rooms."

"We have visited Provincial Glenville. The place was fantastic. The people were very nice, very knowledgeable, and very friendly. I can't say enough about it. I think it's a little pricey. There's no negotiating, and there's only one meal. Other than that, it was fabulous, and it was very nice. There is a refrigerator and a stove. You have to bring all your own furniture, like a television, etc. Once we got indoors, it was fabulous. That atrium area was gorgeous. However, the outside of the building is so plain. So nothing, that we almost didn't even go in. There's one small courtyard outside, though."

"We are moving into Summit at Glenwyck. The place is beautiful, and the people are all very nice, everyone I've met. Today, I met my across-the-hall neighbor. She was so excited to meet me. They had a continental breakfast, and we all sat and chatted. It was just like you're with your neighbors. It was good. The staff are very attentive, and they're very welcoming. They do their jobs the best they can. They have a gym, pool, and a community room where they do a lot of painting lessons and jigsaw puzzles. They eat on special occasions and birthday parties, have another room, a library, I mean, just about anything you'd want, and a hair salon. It's just amazing. The food was good, but maybe they could use some more protein. It's pricey, but they do have a lot of activities and a lot of things to do."

"I liked Sweetwood of Williamstown. Williamstown is a college town that offers lots of stuff to do and lots of restaurants, and the town itself is great. The dining area was shaped differently than other places but still very nice. The wait staff was also very nice. "

"Brookdale is very nice, and my father actually enjoys it there. They’re the only facility who would accept him with his physical state and his Alzheimer’s. Most places in New York wanted to put him directly into a nursing home. He loves it there, they’re meeting all his needs, going above and beyond, and we have no complaints. It’s a wonderful choice for my father; I would definitely recommend it to anyone who doesn’t want to go to the nursing home route. "
